"To be a great artist is inherently right wing."

What I said in the previous post reminds me of something I said back in 2005:

To be a great artist is inherently right wing. A great artist like Dylan or Picasso may have some superficial, naive, lefty things to say, but underneath, where it counts, there is a strong individual, taking responsibility for his place in the world and focusing on that.

I got a lot of pushback on that, but 5 years later, I still believe it.
